General Information
1 General Information
1.1 Disclaimer
Sandel Avionics does not assume any risk for nor accept any responsibility for the interface
descriptions contained within this Installation Manual. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure
that such equipment is compatible with the SG102 as described, and to ensure that the installation of
the SG102 is accomplished with such equipment using the specific equipment manufacturer’s
installation and technical instructions. No other representations are expressed herein.
1.2 Introduction
The Sandel model SG102 is a solid-state sensor that combines angular rate, linear acceleration and
magnetic field measurements to create an electronically stabilized strap-down Attitude and Heading
Reference System (AHRS).
The information contained within this manual describes the features, functions, technical
characteristics, components, approval procedures, installation considerations, setup procedures,
checkout procedures, and instructions for continued airworthiness for the SG102.
This revision of the SG102 Installation Manual is applicable to the following SG102 models:
SG102 MOD 1, SG102 MOD2. SG102/D.
For information pertaining to the SG102 MOD 0, please refer to 82011-IM revision G.
The SG102 requires the use of the Sandel MT102 magnetic transducer accessory. No additional flux
gate is used or required.
Limitation Notes:
(1) The SG102 is not certified to provide primary attitude information to the flight
crew. The SG102 is certified to provide reversionary attitude in the primary
field of view. The SG102 may also be used to stabilize other aircraft equipment
for example, RADAR and/or FLIR systems.
NOTE: The SG102 may not provide satisfactory heading performance above 70°
north latitude or below 70° south latitude.
The SG102 AHRS meets the pertinent requirements of

1.3 General Information on Strapdown AHRS
When used as a DG replacement, the SG102 differs in certain key characteristics from the electro-
mechanical gyro it replaces which affect the installation. It must be remembered that the SG102 is a
strapdown AHRS and this means it is installed like an AHRS - even if it is used or thought of as a
directional gyro.
A strapdown AHRS is composed of three sensors in a Roll-Pitch-Heading orientation. When the

aircraft is level it is easy to visualize its operation as each of the three sensors senses the movement in
its own axis. However, the operation of the AHRS gets complicated as the aircraft maneuvers. For
instance in a 90 degree bank what was the Pitch sensor is now the Heading sensor; the Heading sensor
is now the Pitch sensor. This sensor translation occurs at every intermediate attitude. In order for this
process to work properly, the SG102 itself must be precisely aligned with the aircraft axis; otherwise
changes in roll may induce like small changes in pitch, and vice-versa. Very small misalignments will
wash out during operation, but large misalignments will cause improper operation.
A mechanical DG has no such requirement as it is gimbaled and will level itself to gravity on startup
and stay level during most flight maneuvers. This means that a mechanical DG installed non-level
will work properly; however installing with the SG102 without checking the mechanical alignment
will not work. Make sure the SG102 is mechanically aligned! Once correctly installed the SG102
mounting base is designed to allow removal and replacement of the SG102 without realignment.
The 4-quadrant compass calibration (part of the ground test procedure) is important for correct system
operation. Do this carefully! The benefit of doing this calibration correctly is the SG102 will be more
accurate in heading, especially during maneuvers, than a mechanical DG.
1.4 SG102 Features

The SG102 is intended for use in airplanes or helicopters to provide stabilized primary magnetic
heading to compass indicators, flight control and director systems, or other aircraft systems requiring
stabilized heading information.
The SG102 provides output heading data in the following formats:
SG102
Heading Format SG102/D
MOD1 MOD2
ARINC 407 (XYZ) X X -
ARINC 429 (LOW SPEED) X X X
ARINC 429 (HIGH SPEED) - X X
RS-232 Stormscope™ X X X
Quadrature Stepper X X -
The SG102 incorporates a single 26 pin “D” connector with a Positronics latch. Additionally, the
SG102 MOD 1 and MOD 2 (P/Ns SG102-000, -100, -200) is signal and plug compatible with the
Bendix/King KG102 electromechanical directional gyro used in the KCS55 compass system.
Contact the factory with any questions about interfacing to specific equipment not covered in the
installation drawings.

The SG102 supports various mounting orientations. See section 3.4 below. These orientations
provide flexibility in locating the position of the output connectors in relation to existing
harnesses.
Ensure that the 4 LED’s on the front of the unit are visible after installation.
3.2.3 Mounting Base Alignment

The SG102 is designed so that all aircraft alignments are made at the mounting base. After the
initial mounting base alignment the SG102 may be removed from the mounting base and
replaced without realignment.
3.2.4 Bendix/King KG102 Replacement Applications (SG102 P/Ns -000, -100,

-200)
When used as a directional gyro replacement for a Bendix King KG102 used in KCS55 compass
systems, with minor wiring modification the SG102 can be used to directly replace the KG102
DG and will drive a KI525 indicator with stepper-motor drive directly. The SG102 is designed
with the same legacy rectangular connector as the KG102 allowing easy retrofits.
In these applications the KMT112 fluxgate is removed and replaced with the Sandel MT102
magnetic transducer. The SG102 has an output which drives the KI525 in place of the original
KMT112 fluxgate. All other connections to the KI525 are retained and the SG102 drives all the
Installation
original signals, including the flags and stepper motor pulses.
The KA51 slaving accessory is not required. However, it may be retained for the use of the
Slaving Switches and Slaving Meter, which will continue to operate. The slaving adjustments
are non operational and should be centered.
The SG102 is capable of operation during higher heading rates (up to 150 deg/s) than the KI525
indicator. If the actual heading rate exceeds 33 deg/sec, the SG102 limits the stepper pulses
issued to the KI525 to a maximum rate of 33deg/sec and keeps track of the dropped pulses.
When the aircraft rate slows down below 33deg/sec the missing pulses are re-inserted and the
KI525 is allowed to catch up to the correct heading. If at any time the KI525 compass card lags
the true heading in this fashion the KI525 HDG flag is asserted momentarily.
Note: When upgrading an existing installation from a

KG102 to an SG102 interfaced to either a Sandel
SN3500 or SN4500, you must remove connections
between the c, j, and n pins.
3.3 Installation Considerations

3.3.1 General
The SG102 installation should conform to customer requirements and airworthiness standards
affecting the location and type of installation.
For installation refer to Drawing No. 90171-05 titled, “Installation, SG102”, for specific
assembly and mounting instructions.
3.3.2 Power
Note that primary power is supplied on either P1 (26 Pin D) or the KG102 compatibility
connector (for P/Ns -000, -100, -200), but not both.
Please see sections 2.5.2 and 2.5.3 for Summary Environmental information.
The SG102 should be powered by the main bus or emergency bus (as appropriate). The SG102
is immune to transients and other anomalies which may be present on the main bus.
The SG102 requires 14vdc or 28vdc power

14vdc: 5.0A circuit breaker
28vdc: 5.0A circuit breaker.
Existing KG102 installations utilizing a 5amp circuit breaker may retain the 5amp circuit breaker
providing that the specific circuit breaker type can tolerate 5.0 amps for as much as 5 minutes
during startup.
Installation
3.3.3 Cooling
No external cooling is required. The SG102 under normal operation will be warm to the touch.
3.3.4 Slaving Control Switches

In an existing Bendix/King replacement installation the KA51 slaving accessory may be used to
control the ‘slaving off’ mode. In new installations three switches may be installed if manual
slaving control is desired:
Slaving Off GND to operate; maintained

CW GND to operate; momentary
CCW GND to operate; momentary
NOTE: The SG102 may be installed with one set of slaving

switches only; either a KA51 connected to the 44 pin
rectangular connector, or new switches connected to the 26
Pin D connector.
3.3.5 Operation without MT102

The SG102 will not operate without the MT102 connected. Any application which requires
operation without a magnetic reference will not work with the SG102.
Note: The SG102 will not initialize unless it has

communication with the MT102. The SG102 will
flag if communication is removed from the MT102
3.3.6 Inverter Outputs

The SG102 contains an internal sine wave inverter. The inverter load is limited to 5VA, which
is sufficient to drive two synchro transmitters.
3.3.7 Synchro Outputs

The SG102 contains an XYZ heading output. The XYZ output is limited to 50ma and is
sufficient to drive two synchro CT’s.
Note: The XYZ output operates at a nominal 10.5v RMS. This output is compatible with any
Arinc 407 CT specified for 11.8V.
3.3.8 Discretes
The SG102 has Valid GND/OPEN and Invalid GND/OPEN discretes.
NOTE: Since these outputs are both GND/OPEN, if the receiving device does not pull
up to ACFT PWR, a 10K 1/2W resistor may be used between the discrete output and
ACFT PWR as a pullup source.
Installation
3.4 Mounting Orientation

The SG102 may be mounted in different orientations to facilitate the installation. See section 6.1.3.
3.5 Attachment to the Airframe

The SG102 is designed to be rigidly attached to the airframe, the stiffer the better. Do not use any
shock mounts or other external parts.
3.6 General Installation Instructions for the Hardware

A. The installing agency will supply and fabricate all wiring harnesses when required. The length
and routing of wires must be carefully measured and planned before the actual installation is
attempted. Avoid sharp bends in the harness or locating the harness near aircraft controls. Observe all
recommended wire sizes and types and subscribe to appropriate FAR Parts 23, 25, 27, and 29, as well
as AC 43.13-1( ) and -2( ).
B. The use of MIL-C-27500 shielded wire and MIL-W-22759 single conductor wire is
recommended. The use of ferrules or grounding blocks for signal ground and digital ground returns is
satisfactory; however, each ground return must be electrically separated.
C. In order to ensure correct performance the SG102 and associated wiring must be kept at least a
minimum of three feet from high noise sources and not routed with cables from high power sources.
D. The pinout descriptions will assist you in determining installation requirements. Adhere to all
notes within these descriptions and on installation wiring diagrams.
E. Ground Bonding. In order to assure installation characteristics match the DO-160 RF and
Lightning test conditions, ensure that ground wires of at least the recommended size are installed in
accordance with the installation drawings and these wires are connected to a bonded aircraft ground.
F. Power Wiring. To assure that the SG102 will operate properly down to its rated minimum
input voltage of 11Vdc, ensure that power wires of at least the recommended size are connected from
the AHRS/DG circuit breaker to the SG102 in accordance with the installation drawings.
3.7 Alignment
The alignment process is performed as follows:
Step 1: Determine the aircraft leveling means. This information is noted either in the maintenance
manuals or may be found on the aircraft’s Type Certificate Data Sheet which can be found easily on
the FAA website. It is not necessary to actually level the aircraft – just know how to measure the tilt as
it sits.
Step 2: Where the SG102 is going to be mounted, make a sharp pencil line along the longitudinal axis
of the airframe. This can be accomplished by the use of a straightedge aligned square to a bulkhead or
Installation
other transverse member. This line must be accurate – to within ¼ degree, which is easily obtainable
with hand tools.
Step 3: Take a small digital level and note the current lateral (roll) and longitudinal (pitch) tilt of the
aircraft as it sits, using the criteria determined in step 1. Make sure getting in and out of the aircraft
doesn’t change its position.
Step 4: Now shim the SG102 mounting base to reproduce the same pitch and roll tilt angle as the
airframe. Tighten the base mounting screws friction tight.
Step 5: Adjust the longitudinal axis of the mounting base so that it is parallel with the longitudinal axis
pencil line. Align Visually.
Step 6: Tighten the mounting screws. Make sure these are going into self-locking nutplates. The base
should be extremely stiff and shouldn’t slip.
Step 7: Install the SG102 into the base by sliding it into the rear hold-down, tighten the clamp, and
safety wire the clamp screws.

3.8 Post Installation Summary

Prior to installing the SG102, a point-to-point continuity check of the wiring harness should be
accomplished to verify proper wiring. See FUNCTIONAL GROUND TEST PROCEDURES
/ REPORT in the appendix for verification of this step and other checks. Apply power to the
SG102 and check that the status lights indicate correctly. (See section 7.1 for details).
Perform Ground Test procedures.

MT102 Information
5 MT102 Information
5.1 Differences between the MT102 and a Fluxgate

The MT102 differs from a Fluxgate (such as a King KMT112) in significant ways. It is solid state and
there is not an internal moving pendulum. The MT102 is strapdown and detects the earth’s field
separately in the Pitch-Roll-Heading body axis of the aircraft. Because it is a strapdown sensor, the
axis’ orientations change when the aircraft attitude changes. The magnetic axis is then mathematically
leveled to produce the ‘level magnetic field’. This has a distinct advantage over a Fluxgate since the
MT102 does not have turning or acceleration errors due to the pendulum motion, so the system will
often remain more accurate during maneuvers.
5.2 Environmental
The MT102 is designed to be mounted in the physical environment of the wing or tail of the aircraft.
It has a unique upside-down mechanical design which provides a drip loop from the cable entry point.
For this reason it is essentially moisture proof.
5.3 Wiring
The MT102 is designed to be installed using the existing wires that originally ran to a fluxgate. The
original triplex-shielded cable is used for data and the original duplex excitation line is used for DC
power. This simplifies installation in retrofit applications.
It is often the case that the original fluxgate wiring is routed to an existing HSI and not to the existing
Gyro. In this case the MT102 wiring must be extended to reach the SG102 AHRS. See the
installation drawings for details.
5.4 Installation
The MT102 must be installed in alignment to the axis of the aircraft. In the event that the mounting
pad for the MT102 is not level with the aircraft, the MT102 should be shimmed using the same
measuring technique as is used to align the AHRS. If shimming is required, the washers or shim
stock must be brass, plastic or other nonmagnetic material. Non-magnetic stainless-steel may be used.
The MT102 alignment is important as it affects the accuracy of the heading in flight during
maneuvering. The MT102 has an alignment arrow that must be oriented parallel to the longitudinal
axis of the aircraft and pointed to the nose. For AHRS software 1.31 or later, this alignment is not
critical up to +/-10º but it is recommended it be as closely aligned as possible for good practice.
Alignment tooling holes are present and can be used to assist in installation (see figure 5-1).
Note: If the SG102 system is installed in an airplane

that has a second standard DG and Fluxgate, after
maneuvers the pilot may see a small heading split
between the two systems of a few degrees. It is likely
that this split is due to turning errors in the
DG/Fluxgate compass system. This will be visible in
MT102 Information
the DG slaving meter. After straight and level flight

this split should be reduced to the static accuracy of
the DG system.
Alignment Arrow
Figure 5-1 MT102 showing alignment arrow
5.5 Connector
The MT102 uses an environmentally sealed CPC connector which adds to the water-proofness of the
installation. Use care when crimping and sealing the mating connector as if this is done incorrectly it
will be the weak point in the installation.

6.1 Software Configuration

6.1.1 SG102 Maintenance Adapter (USB) p/n 81032
The Sandel 81032 SG102 Maintenance Adapter is available to allow USB communication
between the setup PC and the SG102 in order to operate the Installation-Calibration software.
See the Maintenance Adapter User Guide for instructions for use.
6.1.2 SG102 Installation-Calibration Utility Software

Sandel 82011-ICU Installation-Calibration Utility software is used in conjunction with the
81032 SG102 Maintenance Adapter to support the following functions:
• View the serial number and software version of the SG102 and MT102.
• Selecting the default SG102 mount orientation.
• Compass calibration.
• Selecting Arinc 429 enhanced maintenance labels.
• Selecting Arinc 429 Hi/Low Speed. For SG102 (MOD 2) and SG102/D
See 82011-ICUG (SG102 Installation Calibration Utility User Guide) for use of this software.
Any time changes are made to the SG102 setup or calibration, an entry must be made in the
aircraft maintenance logs by an appropriately rated person stating the action taken.
6.1.3 Mounting Orientation Select

The 82011-ICU Installation-Calibration Utility software is used to select the mounting
orientation. Follow the instructions in the User Guide.
NOTE: If the correct software orientation selection is not made the SG102 will appear to
operate properly on the ground but will malfunction during flight.
Setup Procedures

Setup Procedures
6.1.4 Compass Calibration

Compass Calibration is a two-pass calibration done at the four cardinal points N-S-E-W. Follow
the instructions in 82011-ICUG (SG102 Installation-Calibration Utility Users Guide).
6.1.5 Arinc Maintenance Labels

The SG102 can output labels 155, 350, 351, 352, 353 and 354. These are Sandel specific
maintenance labels. When used in conjunction with the Sandel SN3500 EHSI the labels are
recorded by the SN3500 Data Recording function, and the resulting data files can be used by the
Factory to diagnose intermittent or installation related problems.
The Installation-Calibration Utility Software provides a means to enable/disable these

maintenance labels. Enable only when interconnected to Sandel SN3500 or SN4500 products.
6.1.6 Software Updating

The 81032 SG102 Maintenance Adapter also supports a software loader capability which may
be required in response to service letters or service bulletins. In that event specific instructions
for use will be supplied with that documentation.

The Sandel Avionics SG102 Attitude Heading Reference System is a compact solid state
device that performs the functions of a Directional Gyro (DG) and as a source of Reversionary
Attitude.
SECTION II LIMITATIONS
[SG102 (Mod 1) software prior to 1.25: Not approved for primary attitude information except
for reversionary or backup attitude display in the primary field of view. Not approved for
aerobatic flight]
Otherwise:
[SG102 (software 1.25 and later) and SG102/D: Not approved for primary attitude information
except for reversionary or backup attitude display in the primary field of view.]
SECTION III EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
None
Appendix D: Sample Airplane Flight Manual Supplement
SECTION IV NORMAL PROCEDURES
The circuit breaker for the SG102 is located on the (right/left) circuit breaker panel labeled
AHRS.
While the SG102 is initializing the aircraft should not be moved. When the Flag is removed
from the heading display, the SG102 initialization is complete.
The SG102 is normally be operated in the slaved mode. If it is desired to operate in the
unslaved mode, select the Slaving Off position on the mode selector switch. Adjust the heading
clockwise or counter clockwise as needed using the manual slew switches. All heading
outputs will track the new heading. Selecting Slaving On will return all heading outputs to the
current magnetic heading and restore slaving operation.
If the SG102 fails to operate or the display indicates that the heading is invalid, use the aircraft
compass and/or other available heading source for heading information.
SECTION V PERFORMANCE DATA
No Change to AFM.

13.1.1 Introduction
The following ground test procedures are to be performed after the SG102 and MT102
have been properly installed and configured in the “Post-Installation Procedures.
Successful completion of the Ground Test procedures is necessary to support the claim
that the SG102 and MT102, as installed, perform their intended functions and are
compatible with all aircraft systems. The ground test procedures contained herein will
include testing of interfaces to other systems. Therefore, this ground test must be
conducted in conjunction with, or subsequent to ground testing of other systems.
13.1.2 Physical Installation

Verify that the SG102 mounting base has been properly installed in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions, that any external switches affecting SG102 operation
have been clearly labeled, and that a trip-free re-settable circuit breaker labeled
“AHRS” is clearly visible.
Completed _______ Comment __________________________________
Install the SG102 into the mounting base and verify that the unit installs solidly and
without obstruction.
13.1.3 Wiring Verification and Initial Power-Up

Perform a 100% continuity check of all aircraft wiring to verify in accordance with
installation wiring diagrams.
Power check all wiring to ensure that primary power is applied to the proper pins and
nowhere else.
Pull AHRS circuit breaker. Verify that power is removed from wires supplying
primary power to the SG102. Reset circuit breaker when complete.
Connect P1 and/or P2 as the installation requires to the SG102 and verify the mating
MT102 connector is connected. Verify that the connectors mate and latch correctly.
13.1.4 System Functions
Activate the aircraft master switch. Verify that the SG102 LED self-test is performed
(all LEDs shall illuminate upon initial power application).
Verify that during the initialization period the “POWER” LED is illuminated.
Verify that during the initialization period the “VALID” LED is not illuminated.
Verify that during the initialization period the “MAG” LED is illuminated.
Verify that during the initialization period the “ERROR” LED is flashing.
Verify that following the initialization period the “VALID” LED illuminates steadily.
Verify that following the initialization period, the “ERROR” light is extinguished.
If installed, verify that the slaving control functions properly when in the Slaving Off
mode. Return to Slaving On mode when complete.
13.1.5 Installation Software: Mount Orientation Select

Verify that the SG102 Installation-Calibration Utility Software has been used to select
the correct mount position.
13.1.6 Installation Software: Heading Calibration

Perform the Compass Calibration instructions in the SG102 Installation-Calibration
Utility Software Users Guide and verify that the heading shown on the Primary
Navigation Display interfaced to the SG102 is within +/- 2 degree for the four cardinal
headings (90°, 180°, 270°, and 360°).
13.1.7 Additional Testing

Perform other tests deemed necessary.
13.2 EMI/RFI Test Procedures

13.2.1 NAV/COM Testing
Apply power to the avionics bus and ensure that all electrical equipment, including the
SG102 and MT102, are operating normally. Open the squelch on the primary
communications radio and tune the radio to each whole megahertz frequency
sequentially. Attempt to discern any interference caused by the SG102 or MT102. Pull
the AHRS breaker if interference is noted, to verify that the SG102 or MT102 is the
source.
Repeat for the secondary communications radio.
Tune the primary navigation radio to 112 MHz and enable the audio output. Attempt to
discern any audible interference cause by the SG102 or MT102.
Repeat for the secondary navigation radio.
Transmit on the frequencies 118.000 MHz, 126.975 MHz, and 135.975 MHz on the
primary communications radio and attempt to discern any changes in the SG102
operation.
Repeat for the secondary communications radio.
13.2.2 General Testing

Observe any unusual interaction between the transponder, DME, ADF or Marker
Beacon receivers, and the SG102 when switching power to any equipment.
13.2.3 Other Appliances

Observe any unusual interaction other installed appliances such as Air Conditioner,
Strobes, Beacons, etc.
13.2.4 Additional Testing

Perform any additional EMI/RFI-related tests deemed necessary.
